@GoatApocalypse I've got Momentum 1.0 over ears, they sound excellent for music and gaming and are really comfy, great build quality too, I've had them for a few years and they look brand new.

Nb They're very bassy, I didn't get on with them at first after coming to them from a set of Denon balanced armature in ear headphones which had a really clear, natural sound, but they're definitely good for gaming.

This was A Good Call. I only really listen to metal and rock so the bass presence is welcome, but they're nowhere near basshead cans. The midrange is sublime. A little sparkle in the treble; maybe a little too much for some of the more extreme stuff I listen to. We'll see.

Separation is good - soundstage isn't especially wide but it is quite deep. Listening to The Devil's Blood - The Thousandfold Epicentre and it has the feel of an excellent, intimate live performance.

Very comfortable too. Maybe a tiny bit too loose, but I have a tiny head.

I know Sennheiser have a website where you can put in some codes from a sticker on the box and confirm its kosher but I don't think Bose do. They're a bit stiff on warranty in my experience too, I had the QC20s which broke a month out of the warranty and they shrugged at me.

Pro tip: don't let the QC20s get a dry joint if you value your eardrums.

Prompted by the friendly banter in the Switch thread, I'm tempted to get some bluetooth earphones. Preferably with a mic so I can make phone calls as well as listen to music.
More interested in earbud type things, rather than big headphone type things.
Any recommendations?

I got some really cheap ones Al (Bluetooth I figure isn't going to mean high fidelity and they are pretty crazy quality for the price and better than the Apple wired buds for taking calls on), from Amazon as it happens.

I've heard nothing but good things about the beats x and, if you want to go fully wireless, the Bragi headphone are supposed to be pretty nifty.

Must admit I haven't been happy with the Powerbeats 3. The button operation often doesn't work, the earbuds don't fit in one of my ears properly and when out and about I've actually had multiple occasions where it acts like I've pressed buttons when I haven't - pausing and I pausing, messing about with volume and even bringin up Siri. Work well enough for the gym though, but a bit expensive for just that.
